Slideshow (wallpapers changes every 5 mins)

[NeoNyxx]

self explanatory, a feature that allows setting an entire directory as a "slideshow", where every 5 mins, the wallpaper changes. I've created a script for it, but it does not integrate with the on screen clock + material you colors.
Would be very appreciated.
Ty for reading this ❤️❤️

If you disable the background module from qt (in shell.qml) you can cook your own solution up using swww in a bash script.

heres an example of one I modified from someone elses script

#!/bin/bash

randomWall() {
    local wallpapersDir="$1"
    local output="$2"
    # Get a list of all image files in the wallpapers directory
    local wallpapers=("$wallpapersDir"/*)

    # Start an infinite loop
    while true; do
    
        if [ ${#wallpapers[@]} -eq 0 ]; then
            wallpapers=("$wallpapersDir"/*)
        fi

        # Select a random wallpaper from the array
        local wallpaperIndex=$(( RANDOM % ${#wallpapers[@]} ))
        local selectedWallpaper="${wallpapers[$wallpaperIndex]}"

        echo $selectedWallpaper
        
        swww img "$selectedWallpaper" -o "$output" --transition-step 100 --transition-fps 120 --transition-type grow --transition-angle 30 --transition-duration 3

        # Remove the selected wallpaper from the array
        unset "wallpapers[$wallpaperIndex]"
        wallpapers=("${wallpapers[@]}")

        sleep 30m
    done
}
randomWall /some/dir DP-1

this is how you set the quickshell wallpaper:

imgpath="/path/to/image"
SHELL_CONFIG_FILE="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/illogical-impulse/config.json"
jq --arg path "$imgpath" '.background.wallpaperPath = $path' "$SHELL_CONFIG_FILE" > "$SHELL_CONFIG_FILE.tmp" && mv "$SHELL_CONFIG_FILE.tmp" "$SHELL_CONFIG_FILE"
